Politicians won’t save you. You must save
yourself. Politicians kill your children
with endless war. You must save them. They crave
power and money, these politicians.
They don’t care about you. Corporations
will not save you. They’ll enslave you with debt
and silence, sap every cell, cut portions
of your days into dread, hope you forget
who you are. Smartphones will not save you. They’ll
imprison your vision, blind you to all your
surroundings, shrink your world, even compel
you to photograph your face -- imprimatur
of self-worth. Stand up. Breathe deep. Close your eyes.
Listen. Feel. Remind yourself to be wise.
